    WNT Hanoi Open 2025, Vietnam, Oct 7-12

    Deocareza seems ok. Watched him batter Manas a few times on YT. Not sure Jundel is 'new' - Gariando looked a tidy player. They have a good stock of players, nice to see them doing well on their homecourt.

    This is how it starts (though one of the guys I would play this with would emphasize the "ME" while pointing at himself haha) This is how it ends haha

    WNT Hanoi Open 2025, Vietnam, Oct 7-12

    I regularly give 3 or 4 from the break/suit selection as a spot. Wouldn't let the same player take them prior to the black though. More balls for me, and less traffic from the off. So, I have to agree with your comments. Quite enjoyed pretending to work while watching that. Lots of pool to...

    Which is BEST cuecase? Whitten? Laara? Phi eastwood? Rusty Melton? Jill Hawk? Or?

    Just got given a Mezz NMZ-35 and the functionality, construction and weight are all very good. I don't think it can be beaten for the price (I got mine for free, but with no straps, so picked some nice ones up on Taobao and I am very satisfied) 3seconds is also right up there, though falls...

    how to travel with cues intl?

    My snooker cues are in an aluminum long case, which I wrapped and placed into a ski bag. Pool cue goes in a lockable padded bag I got for about $50 on Taobao, Just fits my standard case inside the bag as is. Probably AirTag it in future.

    Pool play that irritates you!

    Wait, I know this guy… 😂 There’s genuinely one guy who does all of the above, and another that does pretty much all of the above, both have giant egos and both I simply don’t make the effort to play anymore. Neither are as good as their giant heads would have them believe. Neither will play me...

    Shaft bending

    Some of the best are good because they bend. I have a German friend that uses a 30+ year old Joss as his break and player. Fantastic cue. Like a wet noodle if you give it some, but straight as an arrow.

    Peri 9 Ball Open - Oct 2-5

    Jeremy Jones, the famous European player. Non-playing captains is possibly the dumbest part of the spectacle.

    List of pro players who stick to wood as their playing shaft

    Right, exactly my point, and he could earn them with wood, carbon or whatever anyone else wanted to pay him to use. Carbon isn’t “future tech” it’s money in pockets.

    Are some 3/8x10 joint pins thinner then others?

    Yes, they fit Musashi/Adam - this is different from the 3/8x10 that is popular in the US. I do have some Musashi/Adam shafts that fit the modified pin, though they are quite rare to find. They are currently for sale, along with a fantastic Vigus butt in the ‘For sale’ section. You should peruse...
